GreenWay closes the registration gap in Slovakia. Starting October 15, fees in other countries will follow the standard rate.

GreenWay is a large but fairly expensive operator, which is why electric vehicle owners sought ways to avoid high charging rates. One of the well-known and popular methods—which we have never described for obvious reasons—was to register in Slovakia so as to use their pricing structure everywhere, including in Poland. But the company is now fixing this loophole, and it will no longer be possible starting October 15.

GreenWay with the highest rates outside of the country of registration

Today, the price differences are not as large anymore; they have been largely standardized. In the past, there was a significant gap. It was cheaper to have an account registered in Slovakia, even for charging in Poland, because Slovaks or “Slovaks” [i.e., Poles who registered in Slovakia] used their local pricing structure. This is still evident even with the Energia Standard plan (fast charging):

Up to 25 kW – 2.99 PLN/kWh for Poles, equivalent to 1.71 PLN/kWh (0.39 EUR) for Slovaks,

Up to 100 kW – 2.99 PLN/kWh for Poles, equivalent to 2.58 PLN/kWh (0.59 EUR) for Slovaks,

Over 100 kW – 2.99 PLN/kWh for Poles, equivalent to 3.02 PLN/kWh (0.69 EUR) for Slovaks.

Worse [for Poles], Slovaks or “Slovaks” using Polish infrastructure rarely saw the latest, highest rate. Even at new 400 kW charging stations, oddly, the rate was 0.59 euros, equivalent to 2.58 zlotys/kWh. In reality, therefore, Slovaks and “Slovaks” paid 13.7 percent less in Poland for ultra-fast charging, and this without the need to purchase a subscription. If they did decide to get a subscription, they paid even less, though the proportional differences were no longer so significant.

There was essentially one condition: from time to time, they still had to charge in Slovakia, otherwise the operator would suspect that the account belonged to a “Slovak,” not a real Slovak.

Starting October 15, this gap will be closed. When traveling abroad or charging at the operator’s stations, we will pay according to the rates in force in that country and location. In other words, a “Slovak” in Poland will pay the same as a Pole – and it will be a fairly high amount for everyone, as it aligns with the Energia Standard plan, the most expensive after ad-hoc payments. Only the settlement currency will remain unchanged from before. Therefore, registering in Slovakia will only be worthwhile for those who actually drive there.
